To start automatically scheduling blog posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page by entering ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser.

Once on the landing page, you’ll find options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to explore the application with 100 free tasks each month. Existing users should click ‘Sign In’ to access their account.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Automatically Schedule Blog Posts Using AI Agent’. Choose a folder to save it in, like ‘Automations’.

The workflow window is crucial as it consists of triggers and actions. Here’s how to set it up:

• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for further use.

Now, you have successfully set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension. Go to your Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Then navigate to ‘Extensions’, find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will:

• Select the sheet you want to connect.
• Paste the webhook URL copied from Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger column to the final data column (for example, column C).

After completing these steps, click on ‘Submit’ to establish the connection with Pabbly Connect.

4. Integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect

Once you have set up Google Sheets, the next step is to integrate OpenAI as your AI agent through Pabbly Connect. In the action step of your workflow, select OpenAI and choose the action event as ‘Chat GPT Structured AI Output’.

To connect your OpenAI account, you will need an API key. Go to the OpenAI API key page, create a new secret key, and copy it. Paste this key into Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save’. Then, select the AI model you wish to use, such as GPT-4 Mini, and fill in the roles and content as follows:

Set the role to ‘User’. Enter the prompt for generating blog content based on the topic, keywords, and audience.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to generate the blog title and content dynamically based on your inputs from Google Sheets.

5. Creating a Post in WordPress via Pabbly Connect

The final step is to create a blog post in WordPress using the content generated by OpenAI through Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select WordPress as the application, with the action event set to ‘Create a Post’.

Connect your WordPress account by entering the necessary credentials, including your base URL. Ensure you exclude any login details from the URL. Once connected, map the post title and content generated by the AI agent to the respective fields in the WordPress action setup. You can choose to publish the post immediately or schedule it for later.

After filling in the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Request’. You will receive a confirmation that your post has been created successfully. You can check your WordPress dashboard to see the newly created post, confirming that Pabbly Connect has automated your blog posting process efficiently.
